The impact of QoS differentiation on service quality and system capacity in cellular networks

Mobile network operators are currently preparing the introduction of QoS differentiation mechanisms in their 3G networks, as a means to support service-specific quality requirements, to enable the offering of distinct subscription forms and/or to enhance the resource efficiency and hence network capacity. In this paper we quantify the attainable...

Performance/capacity gains from QoS differentiation in HSDPA networks: An operator perspective

Mobile network operators are currently preparing the introduction of QoS differentiation mechanisms in their 3G networks, as a means to support service-specific quality requirements, to enable the offering of distinct subscription forms and/or to enhance the resource efficiency and hence network capacity. In this paper we quantify the attainable...

Analysis of a polling system modeling QoS differentiation in WLANs

This paper investigates a polling system with a random polling scheme, a 1-limited service discipline and deterministic service requirement modeling WLANs with QoS differentation capability. The system contains high and low priority queues that are distinguished via the probability of being served next. We propose a new iteration algorithm to...
